Camps  and  Bivouacs. 

A'^(j.  Camp  is  the  place  where  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts, 
or  in  bivouac.  Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look'  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications,  the 
convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  tho  resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  eneu)y  as  to  the  strength  of  the 
army,  must  be  selected,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in  view. 

488.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  and  two 
men  per  company.  The  General  decides  whether  tho  regiments  camp 
separately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guaitl  shall  accompany 
the  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

480.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  tho 
cam  ping- party. 

490.  When  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  camp,  he 
gives  his  instruolions  to  the  chief  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department, 


18  quaiCterma^ter's  guide. 

who  calls  on  the  rer!;imcnts  for  their  onniping-parties,  find  is  accompa- 
nied, if  necessary,  bj-  an  P^ngineer,  to  propose  tlie  defences  and  cuni- 
munications. 

491.  The  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  pl.iccd  at  those 
that  are  dan^rerous.  Any  work  required  to  make  tlicni  of  easier  access 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  (^uartermnster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  of  the  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
b}'  the  camping  party  over  the  water  if  it  ii?  scjirce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-pariy  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the 
camp.  • 

49.'i.  On  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front; 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of  its  camp. 

494.  The  Generals  establish  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  fatiguing  niarclies. 

495.  The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  pickets,  and 
orderlies;  the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies;  the  work  to  be 
done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  parties  ;  the  time  and  jdace  for 
issues;  the  hour  of  marching,  ttc,  are  then  announced  by  the  Briga- 
dier Generals  to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  to  the  field  officers — the 
Adjutant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  behind  their  Captains.  The  Adjutant  then  make.^ 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.  The  regimental 
officer  of  the  day  forms  the  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  in  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms 
are  stacked  on  the  line;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

490.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatigue  parties,  and,  if  necesssary,  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  comjtaoy. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank  ;  the  men  ther) 
dismount ;  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix  the  ])icket  rope;  after  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  are 
pitched,  and  each  horsenjan  places  his  carltine  at  the  side  from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  his  sabre  and  bridle  (m  it. 

498.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front.  Hank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  samo 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops. 
The  tents  aire  arranged  in  ranks  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strength  of  th.e  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

501.  No  officer  will  be  albiwed  to  occupy  a  hou>^e,  although  vacant 
and  on  the  ground  of  his  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander 
of  the  brigade,  wl'o  nhall  report  it  to  the  commander  of  the  division, 

502.  Tiie  staff  officer  charged  with  establishing  the  camp  will  desig- 
nate the  place  for  the  shambles.     The  offal  will  be  buried.

503.  Each  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  color  line.  The  width  oi  the  street  depends  on  the 
front  of  the  camp,  but  should  not  be  less  than  five  paces.  The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  two  paces;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adjacent  companies,  two.  paces ;  between  regiments,  twenty-two  paces. 

504.  The  color  line  is  ten  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents. 
The  kitchens  are  twenty  paces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  company  tents ; 
the  non-commissioned  staff  and  sutler,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the 
kitchen  ;  the  company  oflicers,  twenty  paces  farther  in  rear;  and  the

them.  •  ^ 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  fi-ont  of  the  color  line-^ 
those  of  the  officers  100  paces  in  rear  of  the  train.  Both  are  concealed 
by  bushes.  When  convenient,  the  sinks  of  the  men  may  be  placed  in

be  thrown  back  occasionally. 

5]  1.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  1000  men  in  two  ranks 
will  be  400  paces,  or  one-fifth  less  pjices  than  the  number  of  files,  if  the 
camp  is  to  hav«  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
the  front  may  be  reduced  to  100  paces  by  narrowing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces  ;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more,* 
the  tents  of  companies  may  be  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  divis-

531.  The  fires  and  shelter  for  the  ofiicers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
line  of  those  for  the  men. 

532.  The  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruc- 
tion throughout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  The  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons can  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  water.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  coZo?' Zine,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occupied  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around  them,  and,  if  possible,  construct  shelters.  When 
liable  to  surprise,  the  infantry  sliould  stand  to  arms  at  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  moont  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detach- 
ments, successively. 

Deserters. 

148.  If  a  soldier  desert  from,  or  a  deserter  bo  received  at,  any  post 
other  than  the  stiition  of  the  company  or  detachment  to  which  he  be- 
longed, he  shall  be  promptly  reported  by  the  commanding  officer  of  such 
post,  to  the  commander  of  hi-*  company  or  detachment.  The  time  of 
desertion,  apprehension  and  delivery  will  be  stated.  If  the  man  be  a 
recruit,  unattached,  the  required  report  will  be  made  to  the  Adjutant 
and  Inspector  General.  Wiien  a  report  is  received  of  the  apprehension 
or  surrender  of  a  deserter  at  any  post  other  than  the  station  of  the  com- 
])any  or  detachment  to  which  he  belonged,  the  commander  of  such  com- 
pany or  detachment  shnll  jramediaiely  forwar.d  his  description  and  ac- 
count of  clothing  to  the  officer  making  the  report. 

149.  A  reward  of  thirty  dollars  will  be  paid  for  the  apprehension  and 
delivery  of  a  deserter  to  an  officer  of  the  Army  at  the  most  convenient 
post  cr  recruiting  station.  Rewards  thus  paid  will  be  promptly  reported 
by  the  disbursing  ofiicer  to  the  officer  commanding  the  company  in 
which  the  deserter  is  mustered,  and  to  The  authority  competent  to  order 
his  trial.  Tlie  reward  (tf  thli-ty  dollars  will  include  the  remuneration 
for  all  expenses  incurred  for  apprehending,  securing  and  delivering  a 
deserter. 


22  quartermaster's  guide. 

150.  When  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  are  sent  in  pursuit 
of  a  deserter,  the  expenses  necessarily  incurred  will  be  paid  whether  he 
be  apprehended  or  not,  and  reported  us  in  case  of  rewards  paid. 

151.  Deserters  shall  make  good  the  time  lost  by  desertion,  unless  dis- 
charged by  competent  authority.  •  ^ 

152.  No  deserter  shall  be  restored  to  duty  without  trial,  except  by  the 
authority  competent  to  order  the  trial. 

153.  Kewards  and  expenses  paid  for  apprehending  a  deserter,  will  bo 
set  against  his  pay,  whea  adjudged  by  a  court-martial,  or  when  he  is 
restored  to  duty  without  trial  on  sucli  condition. 

154.  In  reckoning  the  time  of  service,  and  the  pay  and  allowances  of 
a  deserter,  he  is  to  be  considered  in  service  when  delivered  up  as  a  de- 
serter to  the  proper  authority. 

155.  An  apprehended  deserter,  or  one  who  surrenders  himself,  shall 
receive  no  pay  while  waiting  trial,  and  only  ouch  clothing  as  may  be 
actually  necessary  for  him. 

703.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters^  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  the  corps  ii»  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  with  the  letters  "  C.  S."  The  compensaticm  k)  be 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  be  according  to  appraisement, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.  The  en- 
listment of  deserter's,  without  express  pej'mission  from  General  head- 
quarters, is  prv^hibited. 

Purchases. 

704.  It  is  forbidden  to  purchase  horses  without  ascertaining  tlie  right 
of  the  party  to  sell.  Stolen  horses  shall  be  restored.  Estrays,  in  the 
enemy's  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  Jtre  taken  for  the 
army. 

Troops  on  Board  of  Transports. 

820.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troopr, 
and  oilicers  of  the  (Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection (jf  the  trans{)orts,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  propter  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
ma'le  in  tlieni  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

SiiO.  {{\  in  the  opinion  i»f  the  ollicer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  ofticerchargeil 
with  the  embarkation  shall  causo  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
exiterienced  persons. 

Battles.      . 

090.  Dispositions  for  bjfttle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  o[»p  )sed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war  ; 
but  the  fo'lowing  rules  arc  to  be  observed  generally: 

713.  Before  tlie  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  lie 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  amJMlance  wag(ms  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 


quartermaster's  guide.  2 


o 


714.  The  ambulance  depot,  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 
convenient  building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.  A  red  fag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  who  can  walk. 

715.  The  active' ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  always  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital  at- 
tendants at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  He  will 
send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambulances, 
to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  removed 
from  the  ground.  lie  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambttlances  are 
provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  service's  at  the  principal 
depot. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  aVe  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter-General of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  action,  the  officers* on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tidbs  of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  Gene- 
ral. The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public 
property,  captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

775.  The  Quartermaster  General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  orga- 
nizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

Convoys  and  their  Escorts. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.  A  small  partj'  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division.  ' 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  mb- 
sistence  next,  and  then  other  military  stores-;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger.  * 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  th.e  defence  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear ;  when  it 
cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  ))urpose. 

745.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  same  direction,  and  with  sufficient?  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  If  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
hind  wheels  outside,  and  the  horses  inside. 

746.  On  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  eom- 
mander  closes  up  the  wagons  and  continuos  his  march  in  order  ;  ho 
avoids  fighting  ;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  position  that  commands  his 
road,  he  attacks  vigorously  vyith  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 


24  quartermaster's  guide. 

tinuo  the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  .The  convoy  halts,  nnJ  resumes 
the  march  when  the  position  is  carried, 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  t^o  stron/:;  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parked  in  Pijuarc  if  tlierc  is  room  ;  if  not  closed  up  in  double  file  ;  at 
the  front  and  rear  the  road  is  blocked  by  •svap;()ns  across  it.  The  dri- 
vers are  di-^mountcd  at  the  heads  of  the  hursen.  They  are  not  permit- 
ted to  make  their  escape.  The  li^i^ht  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  dis- 
tance as  long  as  possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  pru- 
dently, as  the  troops  must  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 

748.  If  a  Wagon  takes  fire  in  tjie  park,  remove  it  if  possible  ;  if  not, 
remove  fir.<^t  the  ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeward  of  the  fire. 

740.  When  a  whole  convoy  cannot  J)e  saved,  the  most  valuable  part 
may  sometimes  be  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts^  fail,  and 
there  is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  fire  and  the 
horses  killed  that  cannot  be  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then  cut  its  way 
through. 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  a  vilhige  or  strong  building  where  they  may  bo  confined;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to 
lie  down  until  the  action  is  over. 

Marches  and  Baggage  Trains. 

665.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  de- 
termine the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and 
the  number  of  columns. 

■  COO.  Tha '' general^"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of.  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling,  Tiie  fires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c.,  or  giving  to  the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

091.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

C92.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place 
in  the  column,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

751.  The  baggage  train  of  general  headquarters  and  the  trains  of 
the  several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  oilicer  of  the 
Quartermaster's  Department.  These  oliicers  command  and  conduct  the 
trains  under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headfjuarters. 
When  the  trains  of  differrnt  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of 
a  division  marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior 
Quartermaster  directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  maril  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  tJie  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has   the  direction  of  the  whole.     The  necessary  wagon-

masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are'employed  with 
tl»  several  trains^ 

753.  None  but  the  aiithoriaed  wu,o;(>ns  Pive  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  headquarters,  the  regimental  wag- 
ons, and  the  wagorjs  of  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  headquarters 
to  march  with  tlie  train,  are  all  to  bo  conspicuously  marked. 

754.^  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Geilerals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attacherl  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimeutal  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practical)le,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  oflfective  in  the 
ranks;  in.  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a 
train  is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys 
and  escorts  take  effect. 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otherwise,'  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  a,n  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of -the  generals,  and  the  order  of  Ijattle  of  the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Trains  are  not  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  troops,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops. 

75G.  The  wagon-master.s,  under  fche  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the  team- 
sters and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  conduct 
them  ;  or  wiio  ill-treat  their  horses,  or  who  attempt  to  pillage,  or  rua 
ftway  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  Geqeral.commanding  the  army  and  the  Generals  of  Division 
will  not  permit  any  general  or  staff  officer,  or  regiment  under  their  or- 
<ier8,  or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
more  than  the  authorized  amount  or  means  of  trxinspoPtation.  For  this 
purpose  they  will'themselves  make,  and  cause  to  be  mad,e,^frequent  re- 
views and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  pi'ivate  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  v-ehicle, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  servii-e,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  be  harnessed  to  a  jiriVatP  <'a;'riage. 

75S.  Tlie  officers  of  the  Quarterm:i'<tcr\s  Drpartnrent,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  arc  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  alK)wanoes  ar«  strictly  observed. 

WorJdng  Parties. 

882.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  the  army  at  work  on  fortifica- 
tions,' in  surveys,  in  cutting  roads,  at»d  other  constant  labor  of  not  less 
than  ten  days,  the  noncommissioned  officers  and  soldiers  so  employed 
are  enrolled  as  extm-duty  men,  and  are  allowed  twenty-five  cents  a  day

Charcoal,  how  manufactured. 


Common  charcoal,  intended  for  fuel,  is  prepared  by  cutting  pieces  of 
wood,  from  one  inch  to  three  inches  in  diameter,  into  lenj^ihs  of  one 
foot  to  three  feet,  forming  them  into  a  conical  pile,  and  covering  thorn 
with  turf  or  clny,  leaving  two  or  three  small  holes  close  to  the  ground 
for.liiihtiug  the  wood,  and  boring  t  rough  the  turf  in  the  upperpart 
of  the  cone,  a  few  ymall  holes  for  the  escape  of  the  smoke. 

The  pile  being  lighted  at  the  several  holes  along  the  bottom,  con- 
tinues burning  with  a  slow,  smouldering  flame  for  a  week  or  two,  and 
is  allowed  to  cool  before  the  turf  is  removed.  In  the  case  of  very  high 
wind-^,  the  holes  to  the  windward  are  Stopped  to  prevent  combustion 
from  going  on  with  too  great  rapidity.  Any  kind  of  wood  is  suitable 
to  make  common  charcoal. 

Limey  how  manufactured. 

Lime  is  obtained  by  exposing  chalk  and  other  kinds  of  earth,  or  oys- 
ter shells,  and  clam  shells  to  a  red  heat  in  a  pit  or  kiln.  Prepare  a 
pir,  (size  accvrdirig  to  the  quantity  of  litne  wanted.)  At  the  bottom 
lay  wood  and  on  top  place  the  shells  or  earth  ;  and  upim  this  again 
pbicf!  anorher  layer  of  wood,  upon  which,  place  again  the  shells  or 
BJirth,  to  the  he  ght  of  four  or  five  layers  of  wood  and  materials  ;  light 
the  whole — ttje  rarbonic  acid  thus  expelled,  and  lime,  more  or  lesd  pure, 
(according  to  the  materials  used,)  reinains.

"The  author  lavs  his  fouvidfritions  deep  and  broad — giving  a  rapid,  and 
lucid  hi.-tory  of  slavery,  as  it  existed  frpni  very  remote  ages  to  the  present 
time — showing  that  it  'constituted  an  integral  element  in  the  progress. and 
greatness  of  the  most  remarkable  governments  that  ever  existed.'  His 
history  of  races,'  and  comparison  of  their  capacities  for  progress  and  em- 
])ire,  will  strike  every  intelligent  render  as  being  as  able  in  deductiims  a? 
it  is  remarkable  in  research  and  varied  learning.  He  convey.s,  in  a  small 
compass,  the  ];ecuiiar  .traits  of  the  negro  race,  physical,  moral,  and  mental, 
arid  makes  apparent  the  impassable  gulf  \\  Inch  God  has  placed  between 
him  and  the  white  man;  Ibrever  preventing  the  eqiiality  of  the  two  races 
— the- negro  doomed  to  inferiority  throughout  all  ages,  past,  present  and 
futuri'.'" — liichtnond  Jlhig. 

"Tlie  policy  of  the  Lincoln  Administration  is  reviewed,  the  victories  of 
the  war  ennnjeratcd,  and  the  author  concludes  with  a  peroration  of  thrill* 
irig  eloquence.'" — JlichiKOud  Einjuirer. 

"  The  author  trcat.s  all  the  subjects  growing  out  of  the  slavery  dispute 
with  ,an  acutoness  of  analysis  and  a  grace  of  style  that  give  a  wonderful 
freshness  to  subjects  which  hnve  been  hack^ieyed  by  other  writers,  and 
has  piodnced  in  the  whole  a  popidar  and  graceful  exposition  of  Southern 
political  philosophy."' — Ri-lvuotd  Examiner. 

"The  historical  ttateraent  in  flip  concluding  pages,  of  tho  conduct  of 
the  North  since  the  beginning  of  the  sectional  troubles,  and  especially  of 
the  Federal  Admini;tiaiion,  towards  the  South,  is  masterly.  It  is  a  simple 
record  of  facts,  and  less  ornate  than  any  f-iher  part  of  the  publication;  but

"We-  are  indebted  to  rtie  publishers,  Messrs.  West  &  Johnston,  fbr  a 
copy  of  tlie  aljove  valuable  work,  the  appearance  of  which,  in  a  new  and 
ini|iioved  edition,  we  hail  with  peculiar  pleasure,  as  it  atfonis  gratifying 
evidence  tliat  the  author's  labors  have  received  their  merited  apprecia- 
tion. The  first  edition  of  Dr.  Cliisohn's  Manual  filled  a  void  in  our  medi- 
cal liieratnre.  which,  thonjih  nnfelt  in  tha  'piping  times  of-peace,'  became  u 
urgenily  manifest  at  the  outbreak  of  hostilities.  Many  excellent  physi-  / 
cians.  who  sought  anil  obtained  positions  in  the  Medical  Statfof  :he  army, 
felt  the  need  of  some  convenient  and  comprehensive  work  wliich  should 
instruct  them  in  the  peculiar  duties  of  the  Army  Surgeon,  and  serA'o  them 
as  a  companion  and  guide  in  the  most  important  emergencies  of  military 
practice.  Dr.  Cliisolm's  book 'met  the  necessities  of  the  case  in  a  very 
satisfactory  manner,  as  is  fidly  attested  by  the  ra[)id  exhaustion  of  the  lirst  '

already  supplied  themselves  with  it  will  not  lose  the  present  opportunity 
of  making  it  their  vaile  mecum. 

"  Probai)ly  the  most  valnalile  portion  of  the  work  is  contained  in  the 
first  four  chapters,  which  relate  to  the  hygieina  of  troops  on  t^ie  tnarch 
and  in  camp — the  organization  and  rnanagenient  of  hospitals — the  duties 
of  the  Surgeon  in  camj)  and  on  the  Held  of  battle,  he.  In  the  remaining 
chapters,  will  be  found  a  very  full  tmd  excellent  account  of  the  treat- 
ment of  gun-shQt  and  other  wounds  and  injuries,  and  their  various  com-  Jfc 
plications,  constituting  an  admirable  guide  to  the  Military  Surgeon  in 
most  of  the  emergencies  which  he  may  be  called  upon  to  encoimier. 
The  regulations  of  the  Medical  Department  of  the  army,  contained  in  the 
Appendix,  are  of  course  a  sine  qnn  non  to  every  medical  otficer."

NOTICES  OF  THE  PRESS,  LlC. 

The  following  tribute  io  this  extraordinary  book  is  froni  the  gifted  pen 
of  tlie  autl-  ^rrss  of  "  Benlah  :''    " 

""If  any  evidence,  not  p#lpablo  even  to  the'nio?t  obtuse,  were  required 
of  tlie  fixed  and  solemn  resoiution  of  the  people  cf  the  Confederacy,  and    ri 
the  cool,  calm  deliberation  pervading  the  public  mind  in  the  mid>t  of  the    1 
gigantic  revoliuioo  now  being  consummated,  it  might  be  Inrnished  by  the     i 
welcome  appearance,,  at  this  crisi.?,  of  JMr.  Pollard's   valuable    book;  a 
siicci^ict,   eloquent,   impartial  history  of  events,    laboriously  compiled   in    ' 
close  proximity  to  the  theatre  of  v>ar,  while  the  author  looked   down  on 
the  great  Richmond  ecliiquier.     The  work   bears  none  ol"  the  mtuks  of 
hasty  structure,  which  might,  under  the  exciting  circumstances  of  its  cotn- 
position,  be    readily  pardoned;   on   the   contiary,   it  is   characterized  by 
remarkable  unity,  .and  by  an  easy,  graceful  diction,  perspicuity,  and  happy  . 
coniLnuity  of  narration.    The  public  will  dciibtle::^s  apjdaud  and  appreciate 
the  absence  in  thisvork  cf  the  Proerustean   standard  of  favourilei^m;  by 
v.liich  too  many  hiitorians  lo])  off  or  stretch  the  facts  dh-cu«sed,  and  will 
^alue.  the  stern  impartiality  \\hich-inar:i Tests  ittcir  in  the  utterance  of  un- 
pleasant but  indisputable  truths.     The  loarless  nic'tiiii:  out  of  ceiif-iire.  just  - 
where  abundant  testimony  fixes  it,  cannot  fail  to  excite  the  adiniiation  of  | 
.every  true,  manly,  honest  soul.     The  extremes  of  indiscriniinaie  piai-e  (u- 
abuse,  have  been  avoided,  but  tliat  r>oble  moral  cotirnj.e,  so   himentably^ 
rare  in  the  Opnfcderacy,  which  dares  to  lay  the  lash  of  just  censure  on  thel 
shoulders  of  the   highest  officials  when   sanctiored  by  irrefragable  prcmfl 
seems  to  be  possessed    in  an  extraordinary  degree   by  the  author  of  this 
cotripilation  of  national  events.     The  too  eflecttial  muzzling  of  the  new^■■ 
paper  department  is  now  the  less  to  be  deplored,  since  the  great  centre  cl 
the  government- contains  so  dauntless  a  censor." 

From  the  Atlanta  (  Ga.')  Southern  Confederacy. 

'-The  First  Year  of  the  War"  is  from  the  large  and  enterprising  publish- 
ing hoii'fee  of  West  &  Johnston,  Richmond,  and  written  by  Edwarcf  A, 
Pollard,  author  of  "Black  Diamonds,"'  &c.,  one  of  the  best  informed  men 
iipon  the  political  history  of  this  country,  and  a  most  forcible  and  vigorous 
writer.  *  *  It  is  a  mo-t  readable  and  instructive  iKok,  gotten  up  with 
surprising  accuracy,  and  will  repay  a  careful  perusal." 

■From  tlie  EicJimoncVExaminer. 

"It  is  the  i>iost  elaborate  and  valuable  literary  contribution  that  has  yet 
been  made  to  the  interests  ol  the  South  :  that  it  vvill  not  only  entice,  but 
repay,  thiC  curiosity  of  all  readers.''
